R -- MDA Insfrastructure, Advisory/Assistance Services, and Technical Support

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) plans to award sole source contract extensions for a class of contracts providing MDA infrastructure and advisory/assistance services, and technical support. These extensions are necessary to avoid disruption of specified mission critical services during the on-going redirection of the MDA mission, including an intensified focus on BMD system engineering, technology research, testing and the fielding of a phased, capability-based ballistic missile defense system. The MDA will issue limited sole source contract extensions to those contracts within this class expiring within the next 3 months. The term of the extensions will range from a minimum of 1 month to a maximum period of 24 months as necessary to prevent disruption of essential services/activities. See Numbered Note 22.
